Meet Your Future Self

This post was originally published on Luminous Leanings on November 19, 2019.

I’ve got a free guided visualization for you today, Dear Ones! One of my favorite ways to connect with my intuition is to pay my future self a visit. Manifestation meditation can be a powerful experience for getting really clear on what it is you want and need. Future self takes it a step further by introducing you to yourself X number of years in the future. I was introduced to this tool in my coach training program.

When I first did this visualization, I was skeptical. It sounded silly and frivolous, and I couldn’t see how it could possibly help me. But as I was guided through the experience, and as I came face-to-face with myself 20 years in the future, I was blown away by my mind’s ability to conjure such a vivid experience. I looked into my own eyes and was embraced and welcomed by myself. I had a present conversation with myself, and got a lot of clarity around my future career, relationships, and desires.

When I came out of the visualization, I realized I had just connected with my Higher SelfShe had such a deep wisdom and knowing that I both crave now and find I am capable of tapping into. That’s because she is always with me! I am learning how to grow into her more, day by day. When I am met with a particularly difficult choice or emotion, I ask myself, “What would my future self do?” I’ve found it comforting and clarifying. So much so, that I’ve recorded a future self guided visualization for all of you! Get your free guided visualization download here!

This has been a profound visualization for the clients I’ve used it with. They always emerge from time with their future selves more radiant, at peace, and with direct transmissions to take action on. I just practiced this again last night, listening back to the recording I made, and was flooded with so many words of wisdom from my future self, it was hard to capture them all! My future self lives in a little cabin in the woods, practices yoga and meditation on her porch with a little wood fire going, and brews kombucha and bakes bread. She desperately wanted me to know everything will turn out okay, and for me to release fear and give myself over to my dreams with no holds barred. I would do well to visit her more often!

Dear Ones, I’d love to hear how it goes with your future self! After you’ve listened to the guided visualization, what sticks with you? When you ask yourself in the days following, “What would my future self do?” what is your intuition’s reply? What does future self have to teach you about yourself now?
